GRAMMY® winner Jason Crabb is well known as one of the most compelling voices in any genre of music. With his power, range, and passion, he has moved easily among musical styles including gospel, country, pop and southern gospel. With his Reunion Records debut, Whatever The Road, fans of that incredible talent will gain a deeper understanding of the heart behind the voice.
Another poignant moment on the album is the tender ballad, “Home,” which was written by Jason’s father Gerald Crabb, a Dove Award-winning songwriter. “I had already recorded it and then grandma passed,” he says of losing his maternal grandmother, Billie Richardson, in early 2015. “When I recorded it, I didn’t know that that was going to be my song for her at that moment, but you know? I’m thankful. When I sing it, I just close my eyes and think of her in her little blue house, fixin’ everybody something to eat, but I’m not going to see her ever again like that, and that’s a big chapter closed.”
Home Lyrics
Verse 1:
She just drew her last breath
She just felt her final pain
That tear drop on her face
The hand of God just wiped away
Chorus:
Absent from the body with Jesus at last
Destination heaven cares all past
Carried by angels to the land of life
Where dreams will last forever and no one dies
Unending rest for the weary soul
It makes me wanna go home
Verse 2:
The valley shadow of death that everyone must past through
If you hold the Saviors hand
He will lead and comfort you
Chorus:
Absent from the body with Jesus at last
Destination heaven cares all past
Carried by angels to the land of life
Where dreams will last forever and no one dies
Unending rest for the weary soul
It makes me wanna go home
Bridge:
How beautiful heaven looks here
Sweet home of the happy and free
Chorus:
Absent from the body with Jesus at last
Destination heaven cares all past
Carried by angels to the land of life
Where dreams will last forever and no one dies
Unending rest for the weary soul
It makes me wanna go home
Oh, there’s unending rest for the weary soul
It makes me wanna go home
Oh, I wanna go home.
